Ohioma Key Findings : In the current situation, October to December, 2016, food consumption in 15 of the 16 states is in crisis situation while 1 state, Borno, is in emergency. Evolution of livelihood is generally disrupted in the conflict affected areas. Nutritional status is in critical situation in 6 out of the 16 states. The total in the critical food insecurity situation (crisis to famine phases) will increase from the current period of about 8million to over 10 million in the projected period unless urgent remedial measures are taken. 2nd administrative level STATE in Phase 1 CURRENT SITUATION : OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2016 in Phase 2 in Phase 3 in Phase 4 in Phase 5 in Phase 3 to 5 ADAMAWA BAUCHI BENUE BORNO GOMBE JIGAWA KADUNA KANO KATSINA KEBBI NIGER PLATEAU SOKOTO TARABA YOBE ZAMFARA TOTAL

The collected data should ideally be representative at the State or LGA levels. To CILSS and Partners: Discussion Local and International NGO s should also support the analysis at all levels and provide evidence base outcome data. Additional training to support the analytical capacity of State and Federal levels CH personnel is required to strengthen upcoming analysis. In Borno state, it is strongly recommended that a process is set up to support further refinement of the analysis at LGA and camps level as immediate follow up of this analysis that will lead to more appreciate the situation.
